Here's an update on Sunday's service.  (Thanks, Heather)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good morning... and what a great morning it is!!! The sun is shining bright here in Stellarton. With no clouds in the sky!! ... Great day for a flight to Cuba, I'd say!! ;)

 

Here's a quick excerpt from last night...

 Something to think About:

 

- "I Desire Jesus" (song)

- Who actually 'desires' Jesus?

- Signs are important! Like 'Bridge out 500m'

- If you're traveling, you are dependent on signs

- Signs are like prophesies... they tell you what gonna happen in the near future.

- Most of the Bible is prophesy

- Without these prophesies (ex: Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelations) it's like reading a novel without the final chapter

- Signs tell us of Jesus return.

- There are more prophesies about His second coming than there was of His first

- Prophesy gives you the chance/opportunity to change now for what's ahead.

- We can rationalize, and philosophize about them... but it's definitely something to think about! ;)

 

Pastor Todd and Pastor Caroline joined together and spoke on Palm Sunday:

- 'Trust in God'.. the perfect creator of all things

- Zachariah 9:9 prophesized about the coming of Christ

- Mathew 21:1-11 tells of Christ coming into town on Palm Sunday, fulfilling the prophesy MANY years before.

- The Cross... do you wear if as just a piece of jewelry?! do you wear it as a resemblance of Christ?!

- The Cross is a sign of hope to billions of people

- We are separated from Christ because of our sins... but the Cross allows us a way to God through Christ.

- Romans 5:12

- Romans 6:23

- We inherited that sin... And Jesus came to be that bridge to God

- Ephesians 2:8, 9

- Old Testament: sins are purified by blood of an innocent sacrifice... a lamb. Christ became our lamb!

- John 1:29.

- This week let our hearts remember the betrayal, the arrest, the death and the burial of our Christ.

- ... Then let's rejoice next Sunday, Easter Sunday!!

- "Cherish the old Rugged Cross" (song)

- He stretched out his hands and said "I love you THIS much!"

 

Cheers
